<p>DEWATERING OF MINERAL SLURRIES Mineral slurries are effectively dewatered by a process employing a water-soluble or water dispersible silicone glycol as a dewatering aid. The process provides for mixing the dewatering aid with the aqueous mineral slurry and thereafter separating the treated slurry into a mineral portion and an aqueous portion. The use of the silicone glycol provides for reduced moisture content and/or increased production rate in a mineral slurry dewatering process.</p> |
